Really not a fan of any depiction of Batman in which he's wearing armor

[Deezay]

When doesn't Batman have a contingency plan. When does Batman ever arrive to the job ill equipped.

Batman with his bare hands is more dangerous than 20 thugs with tommy guns. Why would someone who doesn't intend on being hit need to wear armor.

Because he might get hit?

 

[ScoopNScore]

I believe Batman doesn't wear armor for the same reason that Superman doesn't wear armor.

Because he doesn't need it.

You know why Superman doesn't "need" armor. Ol "Adam West had the best Batsuit " ass nikka

 

[Bruce Wayne]

The Armor is Very Much So Needed. Each and Every Night it's Another Punk with a Bigger Gun or a more Demonic Plan. A Good Strategist is what I am, but Impervious to Pain and Bulletproof is what I am not. I am Human. However it's my Choice that I put my Life on the line to bring Justice to all Criminals of Gotham. Anyone else wearing anything less than Kevlar would be considered a Complete Fool to be in this line of work.

I would also like to point at the fact that whoever The Arkham Knight is he will need some kind of armor.

Look at this guy...
He looks like he can spar with The Bat, toe to toe...

Wow I wonder how Batman survived for all those years without armor? I mean I'm talkin 50 years of fighting crime in just spandex and a utility belt.

I wonder why no one ever protested, "How can he do all that without protective military armor!?!?"

At what point did Batman become a p*ssy?

 

[King Koopa]

I don't want my nikka to die ...

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Exactly when has Batman never wore armor? Which inception of the batsuit has been some sort of body armor?

 

[Luke Cage]

i always thought of him as a detective/samurai so the armor angle always made sense to me.

This nikka doesn't fight crime in spandex. It might look like it, because in the comics you can get away with it, but it's been stated over a thousand different times he wears armor underneath the suit. And even if he didn't that shyt might fly in the comics, but the general moviegoer would question why this dude who has no superpowers go out wearing nothing but spandex.

Simply put, Batman needs armor. He doesn't have superhuman reflexes. He doesn't dodge everything. He gets hit. If you're naive enough to believe that he's completely invulnerable then yeah, you should stick to watching the BTAS cartoons.

I mean I'm talkin 50 years of fighting crime in just spandex and a utility belt.

And his suit has looked like armor for awhile now in the comics, I think somebody needs to do a little research

Even Cops Wear body armor and bulletproof vests....

Did you not understand the idea from Gordon's escalation???



It's self explanitory. Wearing body armor doesnt make you a p*ssy it makes you smart as fukk with a vested interest in prolonging your life... Would it make sense for batman to fight supervillans without it?!?!? Shut up already!

 

[Orbital-Fetus]

Batman should fight crime naked with the exception of the mask, gloves, boots and utility belt....oh yeah, and the cape.

 

[Calmye]

Just saw the trailers for the new Arkham game and it looks like he comes more strapped than Robocop.

Not to mention he's worn some of type of armored suit in just about every single one of his movies dating back to the 89 Burton film.

Why would Batman need to wear armor???

Because he's fukking human. You want a billionaire to be fighting mutant crime lords in a damn speedo

Yeah...I figured that he's "The Dark Knight", so....armor, right?

 

[AquaCityBoy]

This is why they split up the boards?

 

[hotbeezie]

I specifically came in to say this...
